If you guys look at GPGPU Benchmarks
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU16/1512

You will notice that the 480 8GB will at max be 20% faster than the 290 under full optimization.

Comparing the results

480 8GB - 120MH/s
290 - 107MH/s
280x - 83.3MH/s
7850 - 45.5MH/s

Using the same ratios that leads to Claymore software

Nano - 98 Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
Fury X - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally
480 8GB - 96Sol/s <- should be around here Optimally.
290 - 75 Sol/s
280x - 55Sol/s
7850 - 30Sol/s

We are FVCKED if some developer released a Optimized Nvidia ZEC miner however because if its released and uses a similar hashing algo as Claymore then...

GTX 1080 - 262MH/s
GTX 1070 - 224.4MH/s
980Ti - 213.6MH/s

Converting to what we have now

GTX 1080 - 183Sol/s
GTX 1070 - 157Sol/s
980Ti - 150Sol/s

Thank god all the Nvidia miner devs are greedy and keeping everything PRIVATE.

Except you don't understand how these things work. Cards can vary wildy from task to task (most GPGPU loads are compute limited). 1080 is great at computing, but sux horribly for Ethereum and Zcash, since they are memory hard, and it has very loose timings n GDDR5X memory. 1070 is no better than a 480 with bios mod for Ethereum, yet costs twice as much. I think it is partially due to how global memory is addressed. All nvidia miners so far for Zcash are a lot slower than AMD miners, and the cards cost a lot more. Theoretically if 1070 could be 50% faster, at 100% more cost, 1070 still loses.
